Looking good! I like the modification on the door!

Looking good!! I like the jack!

Very nice!! I like the paint!! It really catches your eye!! Great Work!!

Very nice work!!

I like this one!! Nice work!! I like the engine choice!!

Very nice work!!! I like the decking on the trailer! Looks like the real thing.

Very nice work!! Opening the doors and tool box doors is a nice touch!!

I thought that I would revive this thread to see if anyone has found any info on the cab tilting. I have found a picture of the hood open, and it is pretty obvious that the hood has to be open to tilt, but I'm hoping someone has found a picture of either the hinge point or the cab tilted. Among my many plans that I am never able to start, I plan to start one of these. Thanks! Brian

That is very cool!! I like the addition of the sleeper! I've seen a few like that around here over the years.

Looks Great!!

Great project!! Looking forward to seeing more!!

Great project!! I've always wanted to build one of these myself!! I had the pleasure of putting an engine in one of the outside in 14 degree weather. Good times! This one I'm sure will be awesome!! I'm definitely tuned in!!

Looks like the real thing!!! Great work!!

Very nice GTX!! I'm sort of partial to that body style. I had two 66 Satellites which are the same body. Great work!!

I was able to find a few more pictures of the Reo version than could the White. The dimensions look very similar to a 300 Ford to me.If anyone know differently, let me know.

Thanks! I was pretty sure of that too. I'm hoping to find some dimensions and photos.

Thanks Guys!! Continuing with the Johnny Cash theme, I added the mud flaps and quarter fenders. If you go back and look at the photo of my inspiration truck it has Freightliner quarter fender flaps. IMG_2949 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_2948 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

I like what I see so far!!

Very Nice!! I really like that winch!! Great Work!!

Thanks Guys! I forgot to make the odometer level though. Well I decided to try to make a CR style air dryer. Here is what I came up with. IMG_2942 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Thanks Guys!!! Something that I've been wanting to try for a while is to make a hubometer. Here is my first attempt. I think that I'll keep this one. IMG_2939 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_2937 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Sorry no Jerry Reed. Maybe He'll make it into my next truck. I had to have Merle though. The only reason I chose the Johnny Cash tape over some of the rest was because it was red. Believe it or not, we have several 8-track tapes, so I just took the dimensions and scaled them down and cut them out of styrene. The labels were internet images of actual 8-track labels scaled down and glued on. I forgot to do a search on Cledus though. Here's my Am/Fm Stereo 8-track player. It will be mounted to the ceiling over the driver. The paint on top is not finished since it will be glued to the ceiling.
